Steve,

I tried this on an old 3.x backup with tar and it worked for me. I tried
both a relatively small and a large (~2700 top-level files, 30K files
total).
I'd like to learn more about how to re-create the empty-tar or empty-zip
restore problem.

assumption is that backup of the pool to tape via bacula or something else
will also be magnitudes easier?
Yes. But if you upgrade a 3.x installation you will still have hardlinks
in the legacy 3.x pool and backups. In a new 4.x installation you won't
have any permanent hardlinks, which makes backing up, replicating or
copying the storage vastly easier.
